Nominated: Bass Player of the Year!

Just when I've convinced myself that it's time to pull up stakes and join Cirque Du Soleil as a diminutive Chinese contortionist, I get word that the Canadian Country Music Association members have nominated me for Bass Player of the Year for a second time.
I wrote a fair bit about the CCMAs last year (didn't win in my category, FYI - please, no tears), so I'll just say that I'm quite pleased to be working with an artist like Jessie Farrell (nominated again this year) who is building a career with lots of hard work and guts, and also with Tucker and JGo -- both excellent players (nominated in their instrument categories) and high-functioning social deviants who make working in the band such a tremendous pleasure.
The CCMA Awards are in my home town of Vancouver this year and I'm looking forward to doing my part to show all the industry's out-of-towners a good time when they get here. The CCMA's are from September 10-13, with live shows around the city and other schmoozy industry events happening here and there. I'm performing with Jessie at a Universal Music party on Saturday the 12th, but just go to CCMA.org for all the info.
Many thanks to all the CCMA members who are responsible for my nomination!
